consistent Prohibition men and will ac-
cept. 1t is our duty to find officers, in
preference to putting on office seekers.
Dorrell.-I think it is best to select men
h are present at the convention. ! nave
met with all the temperance conventions
in this county for years, and never met
with either of these gentlemen you have
selected.
Mr.. Dorrell was told that Mr.. Springer
was at one time ON the ticket, and had at
tended several Of the conventions.
A delegate remarked that he would
rather see a Prohibition Sheriff elected in
Salem county than a Surrogate or Assem-
blyman, because he believed some existing
evils could then be abolished.
Mr.. Seagraves.-It would do the temper
ance cause more good than any office we
can get.
For Sheriff, Daniel p. Dorrell, of Allo-
way, was nominated; and Josiah NJ. Bat
ten, of Pilesgroye, was the choice of the
convention for Surrogate.
Mr.. Batten. the candidate for Surrogate,
81 think you have made a mistake. | am
with you, however, on the temperance vote.

for County Clerk and / must confess that
| only asked one man to vote tor me, and
he was my brother. Amid hearty laughter
there were voices 'tHe is just the man we
want"
